It wasn't disdain, it was a joke.

Or you're Dexter.

1st season

As if the two are somehow exclusive.

I've considered it. But I don't have a code. Guess I lacked in a strong father figure.

Actually. it is quite common for people to poke fun at other people they know without being disdainful.

But I suppose an android wouldn't know that.

At least we know Alex isn't Data because Alex uses contractions.

Life forms
You tiny little life forms
You precious little life forms
Where. Are. You
Budabum da bumbumbum





One of my favorite moments on TNG

An android would. Venn Diagrams are easy. Lack of exclusivity does not require complete overlap. After all, I did not say that disdain and jokes about someone are synonomous, just not exclusive. You're the one who appears to have suggested that since you were joking it couldn't be disdain. So if lack of understanding is a sign of androidosity then we have to look at you with a cocked brow.

Waitaminute.
You have another mode besides that one?






:D

Except for the fact that Data used contractions (mostly in the first season, before the script ever said he couldn't could not. But several times afterwards as well)
